Another thing to check is the fuel pump. I just replaced a fuel pump that would not deliver a constant fuel supply under heavy load but when the van was up to cruising speed it worked fine . The pump couldn't produce the pressure necessary for acceleration and gave a jerky takeoff at low speeds(higher rpm) but smothed out at higher speeds(lower rpm) when it didn't require as much fuel . Check the pressure on the fuel rail when the van is not running. Turn on the ignition and listen for the pump to hum and the pressure should be around 40-50 lbs. When the van is running it should have around 35lb. This video is a good explanation of how it works and how to check and diagnose the pump .Hope this helps

addienickh , Check your transmission fluid level and top up if needed. This problem may be transmission or engine related. May not be a true transmission problem but possibly a pressure sensor, electrical i.e. engine misfire or something else. Best to have vehicle scanned for diagnostic/error codes as this could pin point the problem. I have read some forums that state the EGR was an issue on the 1999-02 and some 03's Odyssey's recall I believe and may cause sputter and jerking. Some of the auto parts suppliers offer free code reading like Pepboys, Nappa, Advanced auto parts,etc and some of the guys are very knowledgeable and may have seen the issue often and put you on the right track. If no luck here pop into a good local transmission shop and have them take a look, diagnose and estimate repair. Good luck. I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.

Speak out for your right to repair.

New York,

New Yorkers stand up for what they believe in. And we're asking you to
stand up for repair.

This year, New York could be the first state in the nation to pass the Fair Repair Act,
A8192 and
S618.
We have a chance to guarantee our right to repair electronic
equipment—like smartphones, computers, and even farm equipment. We have a
chance to protect local repair jobs—the corner mom-and-pop repair shops that
keep getting squeezed out by manufacturers.

It’s not going to be easy. Manufacturers are standing in the
way. When your stuff breaks, they want to be the only people allowed to fix it.
So far, they’ve managed to stop Fair Repair legislation before your
representatives get a chance to vote on it. We’ve got to be louder than their
lobbyists.

The Fair Repair Act, known as
A8192 and
S618,
requires manufacturers to provide owners
and independent repair businesses with fair access to service information,
security updates, and replacement parts. Tell your state representative to
support S618. Tell them you believe repair should be fair, affordable, and
accessible. Stand up for your right to repair.

Massachusetts,

The people of Massachusetts have always stood up for their
right to repair. In 2012, voters passed a law that ensured
residents' right to repair their car wherever they wanted.
Now, it's time to do the same for electronics and other equipment.

With the Digital Right to Repair Act,
H.143
and S.96,
we have a chance to guarantee our right to repair electronics—like
smartphones, computers, and even farm equipment. The Digital Right to
Repair Act requires manufacturers to provide owners and independent repair
information businesses with fair access to service information, security
updates, and replacement parts.

But we need your help. Big manufacturers don't want this
bill passed. And they're working hard to defeat it.

If you think you have a right to repair your products, find out who
represents you in the Massachusetts legislature. Tell them repair is good
for the environment, good for consumers, and good for business. Tell
them you support the Digital Right to Repair Act, S.96 and H.143.

parts. So you can fix the stuff you own quickly—and get back on with your

only people who can fix it. And they get to set whatever prices they want
for parts and service.
